ELSPA director general Michael Rawlinson commented on the figures: "These figures are clear evidence that gaming is now mainstream in the UK. The demographic has changed, so it's time we did away with the misperception that videogames are merely the preserve of teenage boys shooting zombies. Innovation in the industry means the social and educational benefits of gaming are now enjoyed by players of both sexes and of all ages."
Here at God is a Geek, we've rounded up 6 DS and 3DS games that we want to see on Switch.
If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.
The European Wii U eShop has received a late night surprise, Dr.Kawashima’s Brain Training (Brain Age in North America) has released.
The game has been made available for free and for a limited time following a similar release in Japan. Nintendo has not announced either release but did announce they would be bringing DS games to the Wii U Virtual Console in the future.
EDGE - The neurology may have been suspect, but the science of game design flourished as Nintendo took the newborn DS into strange new worlds.
What an interesting article. I played brain training a few times when it first came out, and I actually liked it a lot, despite the fact that it was basically the same kind of stuff that I was doing (and hating) at school.
And wow, 9 people worked on it and it only took 3 months? Then it went on to sell 19 million copies! That's just incredible! It must have had a massive profit margin.
I love these kinds of games, not sure how accurate they are but its usually a lot of fun for a little while.
